Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with an energy management or benchmarking program? (0-100):
A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:
UC Irvine facilities maintained space utilizes SkySpark and MelRok© EnergiStream power management software to track real-time power quality and reliability, allowing staff to respond quickly to alarms to avoid critical situations. This allows Facilities Management staff to work closely with the UC Irvine research community to evaluate historical energy data to discover trends, waste, and potential targets for improvement. It also allows Facilities Management to more accurately allocate costs to buildings, departments, and even processes. The University sub-meters at the main switch board level and trends each of these a 1 minute interval data. Currently UCI is metering over 1600 electrical points and another 400 hydronic and compressed air points.
100% of the space on campus is covered with some form of energy metering with various levels of sub-metering taking place where complex space has more substantial loads.
Student affairs uses EPA portfolio manager to track and monitor energy usage.
Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a water management or benchmarking program? (0-100):
A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:
A number of buildings on campus are monitored separately giving maintenance staff the ability to identify leaks or overuse on a daily basis. Water usage data for the entire campus is collected monthly and analyzed by facilities management staff to identify issues or usage changes.
